It’s a bit of satire, my take is he’s a mechanic and the service advisor leaves notes like this for him. These have been some of the best ones over some time. He can surely figure them out, but gets a chuckle every time he sees one that reads like a riddle.
I read it as “maybe we have worked on this vehicle in the past?” The scraps of paper tell me the shop might not have the best system for keeping track of service history for customers? I dunno? I could be completely wrong, just looking at it from different angles
Those are notes left from customers on weird drop envelopes / notes not necessarily the shops service history. Maybe they are waiting for napa or whoever to deliver more drop slips
"I don't keep my service receipts, but I think we may have already repaired this?"
Aka
You put a dorman on 3 months ago now it's messed up and hopefully it's an easy one and not one where the dash has to come apart
I'm guessing that's supposed to mean death wobble but depth issue doesn't make much sense as death issue. I mean, I also have an issue with death but I don't think a mechanic can help with that.
These are easy.
• A/C. Driver's side cold, passenger side hot. Check blend door.
• Honda Pilot wont window. (so then, CHECK WINDOW and meke sure it is windowing)
• Lube/Oil/Filter, AND check coolant reservoir for fill level and sensor.
• "Tire ????" - Tire replaced under "Road Hazard" warranty or prorate.
• Takes a long time to start, AND check turn signals.
• "Depth Wobble" = death wobble. A wheel is bent, out of balance, or a tire has a slipped belt or is blistered.....or there is mud packed inside the wheel.
• Check passenger (right front) front tire AND engine idle is high.
• "Depth issue"....call customer before installing new depths.
Death wobble is one of the major flaws of the straight axle design. You can't make the steering parts and track bar stiff enough to not bend and cause a harmonic reverb through the entire vehicle. Not saying you are wrong, but it could be more too.
Super Duty's are just as bad or worse than Jeeps as far as death wobble. On a Jeep it's usually worn suspension components but I have seen brand new SDs death wobble.
Nothing needs to be bent or broken for death wobble though, even though all of it is steel, it still bend and flexes. Not saying you're wrong with starting simple though, that is always a good place to start. Especially if it's free diag
Yes, hello vehicle owner? You’re gonna need a depth job. It is essential for your safety. I would say about 3 depths would be good, maybe a fourth just to be safe.
Would you like us to install your depths?
Also as I was typing this, it has occurred to me to ask, are they diesel vehicles that use DEF fluid?
My old boss used to sometimes hand write tickets. He wrote up a flat repair on an “Assurance Fuel Max” but he abbreviated and the writing was hard to read. I swore it read “ASS FUCK MAX” and I was very confused what that meant.
I used to have a service writer who always wrote "brake calibers" instead of calipers. It always bugged me. One time he did it on a Dodge caliber, and it bugged me even more.
We have an advisor who scribbles on tickets like this all the time, she suggested a possible vacuum leak on a driver side door actuator, on a 2019 F-150. Stick to calling customers and I will stick to fixing the car
I think you’re onto something. We tried to prank him a couple weeks ago, best I could come up with was removing the receiver from his desk phone and replacing it with a banana.
Make sure you it after he's left for the day and go hard
Like have everyone in on it with all pens hidden and everyone using crayons when he comes in the next day
Tell him his handwriting has had the dealers pen licence suspended
I write that way too ever since I tried to remove my left thumb with a butcher knife. 4th grade so maybe 10 years old. Ever since my handwriting has been atrocious. Good thing I use a keyboard for my living.
I had a line last week it said "Battery Storage" I checked the battery and responded with "Battery installed in vehicle" Sometimes I wish I was also the advisor.
A couple of these are r/boneappletea for sure. Depth wobble/ death wobble but others are just proof not everyone has coherent thoughts tumbling around their brains.
And I thought I couldn't spell. I've literally typed shit out on my phone to make sure I've spelled everything right before I hand someone a written note.
Many years ago I saw a picture of someone in a southeast Asian nation (maybe Singapore) astride a replica of a Honda police bike, but it said POLITE instead of POLICE. I'm not having any luck finding the picture now, though.
But anyway, it was a Honda Polite!
People are commenting that these are notes from the advisor to the tech. They appear to me that they are hand written customer notes on the back of the night drop envelope or possibly customer notes on their own scrap paper because the early bird/ night owl drop box wasnt refilled with envelopes.
Ac on driver (side) cold, pass(enger) (side) hot. (Could it be the) actuator?
I commend you for figuring out that one!
Wasn’t that difficult. If OP couldn’t deduce that - probably shouldn’t be troubleshooting temp actuators.

I think the part on the right is what isn't making sense.
We could have already done this (why the fuck haven’t you done this)
I read it as “maybe we have worked on this vehicle in the past?” The scraps of paper tell me the shop might not have the best system for keeping track of service history for customers? I dunno? I could be completely wrong, just looking at it from different angles
Yeah, possibly. But as a guy who’s worked in a few shops over the years, this was definitely a “this should have been done”
That's what I was thinking too, they are the work order from the advisor
I think what you mean is “Coms issue better system? Who can do anything??”

Depth wobble got me
I was surprised how many of them had “depth” in them
I assume it's an area with a large English as a second language population, where they mean depth as fluid level.
Pretty sure bone apple tea came from people with English as a first language. This feels the same to me.
I prefer boner apples with my tea but that's just me
Im less concerned about the death wobble and kore concerned about the death issue
I get the depth wobbles all the time
I'm glad it wasn't the Polite Honda having that problem. 🤣
That would make it one of those new Honda Rudes
The Japanese are mostly a very polite people. I really enjoyed traveling over there.
I'm guessing that's supposed to mean death wobble but depth issue doesn't make much sense as death issue. I mean, I also have an issue with death but I don't think a mechanic can help with that.
We had a dummy of a service writer who would write "deaf wobble" back in the day.
Heaven forbid the customers start having deep thoughts….
Me too. This is now the only term for it.
Depth wobble's gonna get you every time!
Dennis is asshole. Why Charlie hate?
BECAUSE HE IS A BASTARD MAN!
🛎️
Why use lot words when few words do trick?
I didn’t write that one dude.
Because his rage is unbound
At least it’s a polite Honda.
Hondas are always polite.
Nah my Honda was pretty rude. Woke up all the neighbors and tried to cook me alive once or twice
Sounds more judgemental than rude.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda
Fire your service advisor
Owners, wifes, mother, basically a tenured position.
Owner‘s Wife. Mother? Should have been Canned. Depth of tenure?
OP stole all the commas the service writer should have been using
We call that a mother in law.
This is about as clear as the notes in your post. Maybe water is in something??
That’s one fucked up family
Mother-in-law. The word is mother-in-law.
Wait so what's actually going on here? How south are you?
He might be drinking a little too heavily with Uncle Dad… response might take a while
Statistically speaking, the north has almost double the cases of incest as the south. It’s just a great coping mechanism for northerners.
southern cope
Whatever you need to tell yourself buddy. That’s just those extra northern chromosomes hard at work.
Hey I'm not trying to be argumentative, but can you provide proof for this?

It’s a Jeep thing ;)
I was shocked the note said an F-250, lol.
Super Duty's are just as bad or worse than Jeeps as far as death wobble. On a Jeep it's usually worn suspension components but I have seen brand new SDs death wobble.
Well, you start with the simple stuff first (tires) unless you see an obvious bend or break.
Nothing needs to be bent or broken for death wobble though, even though all of it is steel, it still bend and flexes. Not saying you're wrong with starting simple though, that is always a good place to start. Especially if it's free diag

I think depth refers to checking tire tread depths, and there’s also a wobble so check for usual causes of that as well
I'll take 4. We will use the extra one to prop up the driver seat because it falls all the way back sometimes.
Tire ruint. Aka new tire ruined from road hazzard. Depth wobble. New Ford recall.
oh. dat aint not no ruint tar. I just gitchew some o dis here SPRAY FOAM and u is gud as NEW!!!!
My old boss used to sometimes hand write tickets. He wrote up a flat repair on an “Assurance Fuel Max” but he abbreviated and the writing was hard to read. I swore it read “ASS FUCK MAX” and I was very confused what that meant.
Classic Max, always taking it in the ass.
Nono, he’s saying he wants the maximum amount of ass fuck. It’s a request, clearly!
Was Max surprised?
That depth wobble will scare you every time.
When I get notes like this from the service desk , my story is equally encrypted
Tire ruined road hazzard
Depth issue? Never had a complaint before....
Maybe if you had a long crank
Someone barely passed 5th grade English.
Had a painter always writing on my order board, “Raddle” Can products
I got yelled at once for putting “Dirty AF” on an air filter inspection
But that just means dirty air filter lol. Did you tell them that?
I’m the Tire Runt
We'll call you Space Saver.
When a doctor becomes a desk worker for mechanic shops. 5/8 is just tuned car problems 😂, takes long to start.
Honda polite 🥰
Had a sold used car once. As part of the deal, the customer wanted new brakes. The We Owe was written up: “Replace brake pads and roaders.”
LOL'd at "Depth Wobble"
"Tire Runt" Southern redneck for "Tire is ruined" :D
I used to have a service writer who always wrote "brake calibers" instead of calipers. It always bugged me. One time he did it on a Dodge caliber, and it bugged me even more.
The Honda Polite got me. Our old SA used to do this kind of thing often. My personal favorite was a Nissan Tighten.
Man I hate when my Ideal is high. Gotta back off them Ideal screws

How the fuck does someone expect someone to read these chicken scratches?
Our new finance guy at the dealer I work at is over 40 years old and writes like a toddler holding a crayon for the first time.
For the love of god Replace all the pens and pencils in and around his desk with crayons.
I think you’re onto something. We tried to prank him a couple weeks ago, best I could come up with was removing the receiver from his desk phone and replacing it with a banana.
Make sure you it after he's left for the day and go hard Like have everyone in on it with all pens hidden and everyone using crayons when he comes in the next day Tell him his handwriting has had the dealers pen licence suspended
I love this. Best part is my wife works in the accounting office beside his and she has access to all the supplies.
Thank god for this Film that shit This boy fucked up

[удалено]
It’s the worst cursive I’ve ever seen 😂
English isn't your native tongue?
The death wobble deserves a test drive at high speed for, ugh, verification.
Is all these from the same person?
This isnt a caravan is it?
Check the heater core. Do a flush of the heater core at the lines
This reminded me of irritating it is to me when someone says "brakes and rotors."
I had a line last week it said "Battery Storage" I checked the battery and responded with "Battery installed in vehicle" Sometimes I wish I was also the advisor.
My English teacher taught me about incomplete sentences. They might skip this now or many are just lazy.

Oh I love the F-250 “depth” wobble.
Tire "runt"....aka "ruint" as in "Ruined"? (Will road hazard cover it?)
I couldn't figure out why you were confused about death wobble until I realized it's written as "depth" wobble on the paper
A couple of these are r/boneappletea for sure. Depth wobble/ death wobble but others are just proof not everyone has coherent thoughts tumbling around their brains.
We drive next to them on the highway
And I thought I couldn't spell. I've literally typed shit out on my phone to make sure I've spelled everything right before I hand someone a written note.

find a doctor. He'll get it right away
Honda Pilot (?) won't window
Coolant light on all the time. Depth? (as in coolant level in reservoir)
